DACS:
(text taken from DACS website)
“Established by artists for artists, DACS (Design and Artists Copyright Society) is a not-for-profit visual arts rights management organisation. Founding artists such as Eduardo Paolozzi, Susan Hiller and Elaine Kowalsky set up DACS 28 years ago to protect artists’ rights and ensure they are recognised both financially and morally.
We translate rights into revenues for artists and their heirs.
This in turn helps to sustain their practice and livelihood. We do this through our three rights management services: Payback, Copyright Licensing and the Artist’s Resale Right.
We represent artists and their heirs.
Today we represent nearly 80,000 artists worldwide and in 2011, we distributed over £8.2 million worth of royalties to artists and their beneficiaries.”
